In April 2013, Luis Mancha went to the University of California, Irvine to meet Alejandro Morales, a remarkably under-read Chicano author whose historicism, baroque, and at times grotesque aesthetics are key to understanding his world view.

Morales's works present a vision of Southern California and America so different from the image that the United States has abroad that Mancha felt compelled to make this documentary film

"This iconoclastic film, midway between fiction and documentary, explores the "over-sacred" side of Jerusalem. A political gamble for its inhabitants, a myth for its visitors, Jerusalem remains a universal object of desire that borders on fetishism. The film takes its inspiration from the Jerusalem Syndrome, a psychiatric syndrome, officially recognised in the 19th century, and from which the pilgrims and tourists that visited the Holy City suffered. A camera visits Jerusalem looking for a new approach to show the city. In parallel a young boy wanders the streets and discovers one night a prostitute with golden breasts. The boy, as does the camera, becomes a victim of a violently feminine Jerusalem." - DAfilms
